Milestones

This past week has been a big one! After my last post about the boys not sleeping through the night, they've done it every night since! :) We actually had to WAKE THEM UP at 6AM on Sunday morning. It was - and continues to be - amazing. John still manages to get himself unswaddled and turned around in the crib. It's quite humorous to find your baby in a completely different place from when you put him to bed!

As of Friday, I'm now officially a SUMMERTIME STAY-AT-HOME MOMMY! It's FABULOUS!

On Saturday, we took the boys, along with Uncle Kev and Auntie Em, to the Greenville Scottish Games and Highland Festival. One of my students gave us free tickets, so we couldn't pass it up. It was really neat, albeit HOT! It was a bit too hot for the boys, so we didn't stay long. But we're still glad we went.

We went back to Community Group on Sunday evening for the 1st time in probably 6 months. We were there for just a little while, and everything was just fine. Good to see everyone again.

We made our first outing yesterday - just Mommy and the boys. We went to Babies R Us and Target, and all with minimal fussing. The boys did well too! My proudest moment was when I was trying to fold up the stroller to put back in the car after Babies R Us. And I couldn't remember how to do it! I'm sure I looked really cool.

The boys got their first taste of Baby Einstein yesterday when I popped in Baby Bach for Will while I was feeding John at 3. He LOVED it! And John got to watch it, too, while I was feeding Will. Three thumbs up for Baby Bach...and that's just because John is likely gnawing on one of his thumbs that he's recently discovered.

They've also decided that naptime is no fun. They used to sleep all the time - waking for a bit before and just after feeding time - but now they've decided it's too fun to stare at the popcorn ceiling in the living room. This afternoon, after John had been awake for about 2 hours, I pulled out the Miracle Blanket (yes, Renee, I actually have 2 of them! :) ), and he calmed down a bit. I just worry that he's a bit too hot. We'll see how it goes. So far, so good.

Grandma and Grandpa are coming up tomorrow night so we can celebrate Father's Day with Grandpa. Then we're headed to GA for the weekend for many celebrations - Father's Day, Madeleine's 2nd birthday, and Uncle Chris's birthday too.

Summertime will be over before we know it! :(

Here's our latest family pic from Mother's Day (was it really over a month ago???):
